ABOUT EASSS
---------------------------

The 24th European Agent Systems Summer School will be held at the School of
Computer Science at University College Dublin, Ireland from the 19th to the
23rd August, 2024. The EASSS 2023 is organised under the auspices of
EURAMAS (https://euramas.org/), the European Association for Multi-Agent
Systems.

The main goal of the European Agent Systems Summer School is to provide
exchange of knowledge among individuals and groups interested in various
aspects of autonomous systems. This dissemination is provided by formal
state-of-the-art courses conducted by leading experts in the field and by
informal meetings during the event. The school attracts both beginner and
experienced researchers, encouraging cooperation between representatives of
many branches of the Multi-Agent Systems research community.

The topics tackled within the field are becoming increasingly important due
to ubiquity of distributed systems, including Internet of Things,
intelligent buildings and cities, autonomous robots, etc. Both the
practical and theoretical aspects of Multi-Agent Systems are within the
scope of EASSS.

---------------------------
AIMS AND SCOPE
---------------------------

Since 1999, the annual European Agent Systems Summer School (EASSS) has
provided a highly successful forum for knowledge exchange between
researchers in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. As
was the case with the earlier editions, EASSS 2024 will offer a rich
program of both introductory and advanced courses on a broad range of
topics in the area of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. The
courses will be taught by leading researchers in the field, and are aimed
at advanced Masters students, PhD students, and other young researchers.

We are interested in tutorial proposals in all areas of current research in
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems. As a very rough guideline, any
topic that might be covered at the AAMAS conference or in the JAAMAS
journal would be suitable for EASSS. We aim for a mix of tutorials on
fundamental and well-established topics, as well as overviews of new and
emerging areas of research. Tutorials should cover an appropriate selection
of approaches and not specifically focus on the tutors' own contributions.
Besides providing a coherent overview of a specific research topic, we
specifically encourage tutorial proposals to articulate a clear link to
applications and pragmatic consideration of the fundamental topics
presented.

EASSS tutorials are typically 3 hours long, divided into two sessions of 90
minutes each. For details of how to submit a tutorial proposal, please see
below. We encourage both well-established senior researchers and younger
colleagues to submit proposals. Each tutorial is usually given by one or
two tutors. Exceptions are of course possible; for proposals by more than
two tutors, please justify this choice in the proposal and explain how you
intend to ensure the coherence of the tutorial. To support the tutors, we
can commit to the provision of up to 500 EUR per tutorial to cover the
travel and accommodation costs.

-------------------------
Proceedings
-------------------------

A tutorial proposal should take the form of a single PDF document covering
the points listed below. The maximum length of the proposal is 2 pages, and
the use of our LaTeX template is mandatory (
https://euramas.github.io/easss2024/proposal.tex).

The following points should be addressed in the tutorial proposal,
preferably in the order stated below:

1. Title of the proposed tutorial.
2. Tutor(s): name, affiliation, full contact details, and a link to the
personal homepage of each tutor.
3. Abstract: a short paragraph describing the tutorial (100-300 words),
suitable for publication at the EASSS 2024 website.
4. Topics covered: detailed list of topics covered in the tutorial in terms
of a list, preferably in the order in which the tutorial will cover them.
5. Type: a clear indication of whether the tutorial takes a theoretical or
applications-oriented perspective on the topics covered. We encourage
tutorial proposals that balance the two perspectives.
6. Level: please indicate the target audience and level of the course. If
there are prerequisites, describe what knowledge will be assumed by the
tutorial.
7. Teaching materials: Please indicate what kind of teaching materials you
intend to provide. Note that we will require materials by the date above,
so that they can be distributed to EASSS attendees in advance.
8. Duration: Tutorials are typically 3 hours long. If you have good reasons
for wanting to deviate from this standard, please explain this in your
proposal.
9. Equipment: Please list any special equipment (beyond data projector and
whiteboard) that you might need.
10. Short biographical sketch for each tutor (around 100 words per tutor),
suitable for publication at the EASSS 2024 website.
11. Experience of tutor(s): please provide details on relevant teaching
experience of the tutor(s).
12. Additional information on the proposed tutorial. Include as much detail
as you see fit.

Please submit the proposal (including LaTeX source) by email to
rem.collier at ucd.ie mentioning [TUTORIAL] in the subject line.
